The anthems are done and the players stride out
Mitch Santner: Usually plays pretty good, stats say bat, guess we were undecided. Jacobs and Smith miss out. He’s (Jacobs) obviously a talent for us. There’s three that debuted in Sri Lanka and everyone did a great job. We’ll try to do the same and enjoy it. Packed house here is always nice. Great series now against Sri Lanka, always nice to have some cricket around this time.
Charith Asalanka: We’re going to bowl. It looks like a decent pitch, we want to chase. It’s all about adapting to conditions, we’ve been playing good cricket in the recent past, just want to back ourselves. It’s always about being in the present and enjoying the moment.
